When/if we get The Elder Scrolls VI: <whatever the **** they come up with>, I have my hopes that we will personally throughly rape the Aldmeri Dominion, take those Altmer off their high horses, and, if set not too long after Skyrim, have a completelly silent appearence of the Dragonborn, suited in full heavy armor with unidentifiable gender, using the Thu'um with an oddly muffled voice that makes it impossible to tell if it is a man or a woman, who pulls off a moment of the cavalry to save our asses, riding goddamn Odahviing.

Keep in mind I have no idea what the **** TES Online's story is about, or of there even is a story, so I am completelly ignoring it.

Now I'm no expert but the Stormcloak wants freedom for their land, if they remove the Empire and the Thalmor then they will be independant, and the Empire and the Stormcloaks can indirectly help each other with the Thalmor. I keep joining the Stormcloaks because I'm Scandinavian and I know their felling of getting invaded by minorities but I don't like religion. So I should join the Imperials because I try not to be racist.

I'm Scandinavian too, and I would never join the Stormcloaks. They embody the xenophbic approach we have to the rest of the world, and our strange facination with being independent, when all we ever do when we are independent is to be a douche to others.

The Stormcloaks believe that you are only a true Nord when are born born Nord, live like a Nord and die like a Nord - Which basically means that if they can't control how you should live your life, you are not one of them. I wouldn't call that independent.

The Empire isn't the best either, but at least they allow different kinds of people to live like equals, respect the local culture (if they hadn't had an Aldmeri Dominion up their arse) and actually try and be reasonable towards those Nords who are not into fighting a damn civil war.

So, as a Scandinavian, I can say that the Stormcloaks show me how we northelings from the real world can be to our foreign guests, and that it's unreasonable. Sure, their culture isn't ours, but why not invite them and make sure they'll feel like home, so we'll eventually get to uderstand each other, instead of telling them to honour our culture, when we won't honour theirs?
